Extract

This study is designed to compare the effects of two bolus doses of intravenous remifentanil given prior to the emergence of anesthesia: - on the incidence of perioperative coughing - on the time needed for the emergence of a desflurane-based anesthesia - on the incidence of sore throat after extubation. The investigators hypothesis is that the use of a higher remifentanil bolus dose (0.5 mcg/kg) given prior to emergence of a desflurane-based anesthesia will reduce the incidence of perioperative coughing when compared to a lower dose of remifentanil (0.25 mcg/kg).
